Comedy legend Bill Cosby is coming to Long Beach on Sept. 27 as part of his “Far From Finished” concert tour.

Tickets for the stand-up performance at the Terrace Theater go on sale 10 a.m. Friday at the Long Beach Convention Center box office and Ticketmaster.com.

A recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors, the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor, Cosby created the ground-breaking “The Cosby Show,” which ran from 1984 to 1992 and focused on an upper-middle-class black family.

In the late 1960s, Cosby earned three Emmy Awards and became the first African-American to co-star in a TV series with his role as an American secret agent in “I Spy.” He also created and produced the Emmy-winning cartoon “Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids.” His most recent humor book is “I Didn’t Ask to Be Born (But I’m Glad I Was).”

After the Long Beach show, the comedian makes one more stop in Southern California at the Thousand Oaks Civic Arts Plaza on Sept. 28.
